You think that's bad? Not so. I could post anything here and no one would care. I could admit that I don't like sushi and love ballet and opera but think musical theater is self-indulgent pap. If nobody is there to read it, am I still a middlebrow dilettante? I could say "bomb" and not get violated by a TSA agent. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. I could post favorite movie quotes.
"Michael "Squints" Palledorous walked a little taller that day. And we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn't beat the CRAP out of him. We wouldn't have blamed her. What he'd done was sneaky, rotten, and low... and cool. Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the moves on the lifeguard. He did. He had kissed a woman. And he had kissed her long and good. We got banned from the pool forever that day. But every time we walked by after that, the lifeguard looked down from her tower, right over at Squints, and smiled."
It's kind of liberating, actually. I could get used to it.
You mean to post a quote from one of my ALL TIME favorite movies and don't expect me to find it immediately??
ReplyDeleteSMALLS!!!
YER KILLIN' ME, SMALLS!
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it, but with the exception of his lack of baseball knowledge, I was Scotty Smalls.
Ballet, huh? I think an hour at a shooting range and 2 boxes of .45 should fix that.
ReplyDeleteEither this is my shooting pal Scott, or a very intolerant man who is also a very poor shot.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't dream of drawing a bead on you, the ammo was for therapeutic purposes only. To be administered to the concentric rings of a target. And yes, I've been mistaken for an intolerant man before. Guilty as charged on certain topics.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Scott. "Not suffering fools gladly" isn't the same as "intolerant."
ReplyDeleteGo grab some followers silly! And Sandlot is great
ReplyDeleteJust google your name. Everything you have ever blogged pops up. Even tweets. Just saying. People read it. Some just don't bother to comment. That's why that like button is cool on FB. Need a like or unlike button on our blogs. Lol. Any way glad to follow you. Reggie Ridgway http://characterswellmet.blogspot.com
